Similar for using Konsole for terminal/command line work, with multiple tabs available.

Try Terminator for your terminal. It's all I use now. Very powerful, and scriptable. For instance, at work, I do some admin on a couple of clusters. I have configs for terminator that will open multiple tabs, divide some tabs into multiple sections, and log into each node and put them all into a group just by clicking one icon on my desktop. That allows me to enter a command just once, and every node in the cluster will run it. I know--I could use pdsh, but this is more fun, and some nodes may fail. It allows me to watch the progress of my work easier. It's very cool.

Linux works the way I think.

Same here. I have a very difficult time working in Windows.

Have been using Linux as my primary home system for nearly twenty years.

Yup. I've run every version of Fedora except for 13. I was trying an experiment to just install every other version at that time, and decided that was not worth it. I started with Fedora Core 1, and haven't looked back.

My Linux admin duties - this being strictly a home network - are light and Konsole is sufficient to my cause. But thanks for the tip!
Started with RedHat 5.2 (? - am pretty sure), upgraded to RH 6.3 or 6.5, then eventually switched to Fedora 9, and now upgrade every couple of years.
Having to use Windows 10 at work, on my machine and two test systems, is a chore. The constant updates constantly break things. Funny, tho am supposedly running the same Windows 10 flavor (Enterprise) on all three systems, due to whatever reason - maybe minor variations in hardware (?) - the three handle the same automated test in entirely different ways. Frustrating is the polite way of putting it. Totally inefficient, however one puts it.
But Linux lets me update/upgrade on my schedule, and doesn't erase or reset my config files like Windows does. Linux seems to be a lot more civilized and mature than the kiddie stuff of Windows.
Twin monitors with multiple desktops are another think I love with Linux. Very useful for me to land a different project on each desktop. And with Compiz, can click-bump from one desktop to the next.
Anyway, am glad the world is big enough for Linux to survive. It's a spot of calm in the thrashing turbulence of technology evolution.
Cheers!
